- Description
- -----------
-
- Touch attempts to set the time of each existing file to the
- current system time. If the file exists, the touch will occur only if
- it is not read-only (but see the -f option below). If a file does not
- exist, an attempt will be made to create it unless the -c option is
- specified. The -f option will try to force the touch regardless of
- whether or not the file is read-only. The -v option turns on verbose
- mode and touch will report each file it touches.
-
- -d and -t allow specification of the date and time to be used
- instead of the system date and time. The format of the date and time
- options is like that of the DOS date and time commands. For the date,
- yyyy may be just 2 digits (eg. 86) in which case 1986 is inferred.
- Partial dates and times can be used (eg -t 8 sets the time to 8:00:00,
- -d 3 sets the date to 03-01-80, which may not be too useful).
-
- This is based on the UNIX(tm) program of the same name.
- Wildcards can appear in the list of file names.
